Title: Annoying 'bent over' sprite

Hi
My game is almost finished, I only need a couple more anims.
And here's my problem: I'm trying (in vain) to draw a bent over version of the main character. However, the sprites turn out quite ugly.
Here's what I mean:

(the main character)

(the first bent over sprite - he looks a bit too tall and skinny)

(the second bent over sprite - he looks too short and fat)

Any ideas how I could improve any of the sprites?
Thanx in advance.

What if you try the second ones legs, with the firsts torso, and let the t-shirt hang down a little more, as if it's untucked. Hopefully, that'd disguise the 'thiness' of the body a little.

EDIT: but, I think the second one's fine as is.

I actually think the second one looks just fine.

Thanx for your C&C.
I've kinda combined the two and this is what I got:

Come to think of it, it doesn't look so good now, but it looks better than the other 2 in the game.
